Possibly It Is tsuo that tho desire to
drive the Democratic House into agreeing
to tho building OF navy had something
to do with the bellicose character OF tho
speeches in the Senate on tho Edmunda
resolution. It is not creditablc to tho
Democratic party that such resort should
DO necesaary. There is not man OF any
party who is not vol aware Of the shame.

HARD TIMEs.-We are aware that the
old song of hard times" has been so per-
sistently sung that it is getting monotonous,
especially to the impecunious, yet the APP
propriateness of the following article in
the Wilmington Messenger is such, We give
it place, feeling confident there are many
all over the country upon whom it ought
to make an impression. 1t says:
The wall Of woe about hard times has
wclled up all over the country. Nobody
had any money. Couldn't collect his own
dues, was the debtors excuse for not pay
ing. Yet, when little furry of hot
weather cngulfs the land, hotels do a
smashing business. People who, accord.
ing TO their own statements. were too poor
to stay at home, rush for the cooling
breezcs. Well, it is all right. 1t may
prevent sickness and q doctors bill, and
perhaps, after all, it shows that the spirits
of the sons of men are cheered up by bright
crop prospects.

THE CHINCH BUG.
And How to Get Rid of Them.


The following article from Prof. Akin
son, of Chapel Hill, in the Agricultural
Bulletin Supplement, with the accompany
ing letter from Major Tucker of this city,
will be good news, we are satisfied, to
many farmers, and worth good deal of
money to all who are troubled with the
chinch bug and who will follow Mai.
fuckers example in applying the remedy
suggested.
DESTROY THE BUGS-REMEDY FOR THE
CHINCH BUG (BLIssUs CUCoPTERUs)
ON CORN.
Kerosene Emulsion .-Dissolved !! h.
Boil this and add it boiling hot to two gal.
Ions of kerosene oil. Churn this mixture
with a force pump and spray-nozZle for
about ten minutes, until a perfect emulsion
is formed and the liquid adhereS to the
surface of glass without oilness. Dilute
this by adding nine parts of cold water to
one part of the emulsion.
This should then be sprayed on the in
sects on the corn and ground. A conven-
lent way is to arrange some sort OF tank
on a shed in the tank have the force pump
with short piece of hose and Spray-nOZZle.
AS the tank is drawn along the spray can
be directed in the proper places. This is for
a simply constructed apparatus. Many
different kinds of hand and horsepower
spraying machines are manufactured.
Care should be taken to have perfect
emulsion, as otherwise the kerosene is in
juriOuS to plants.
This remedy was suggested by Prof.
Riley, of Washington, and used by the
State entomologist of Illinois with perfect
success.
To any one who tries this remedy care
fully, / will be obliged if they will report
manner of application and results to me.

THE Hot SPELL.-We have heard some
remarkable tales about The effects of the
hot weather of last week. First comes the
Orange Va, Observer with the statement
from a merchant of that county that on
opening his store Monday morning he
found a chicken had Matched in a bucket
of eggs. Soon after reading this, we
picked up one of our western exchanges
and saw where q wholesale dealer in eggs
had whole shipment of several hundred
dozen to hatch, layer by layer. We threw
the paper down with disgust, determined
not to attempt any egg yarns.

as by the many who were fortunate enough
to attend, and our inability to get there was
the more regretted after hearing the boys
talk of the pleasant time had.
